Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

Hall & Carter has a clothing website with ads all over social media. On their site they say they are based in Boston. The clothing i received was extremely low quality and didn’t fit well. When i tried to return it they said i would be responsible for shipping the items to China and that shipping costs start at $25. There is no phone number attached to the business, and no one to speak to. I only know the return policy because i found it when i clicked on my order to look for it.

• On May 29, 2025, I placed an order for a Detox Kit, which contains a dry brush and a Gua Sha tool. I paid $127.20. • By June 10, 2025, I still received no information from the company, so I filled out a "Connect with Diamandia" form through their website, DIAMANDIA.com. There was no response. • On June 14, 2025, I followed up again, this time using the email address listed directly, [email protected]. Again, there was no response. • On June 21, 2025, Diamandia was live on Instagram, so I posted a comment inquiring about the status of my May 29th order (I took a screenshot of it). My comment was deleted, and I still received no response. • Due to the company's refusal to respond to every attempt I made to get in touch with them, I opened a claim with my credit card company, which is still ongoing. • On July 1, 2025, I emailed again and wrote, “I placed this order in May. It's now July, and it still hasn't shipped. I see that a tracking number was provided on June 27th, but it still hasn't shipped, according to the tracking information. Please CANCEL THE ORDER. Not even having the courtesy to respond to my inquiry about its status (and subsequently deleting my polite inquiry on Instagram and ignoring it too) in this amount of time is poor customer service. I wanted to bring this on a trip with me, but it's too late now. Please refund the full amount, and please confirm receipt of this email.” There is no surprise that I did not receive a response. • On July 3, 2025, Diamandia was live on Instagram again. This time, I was the only person in the live room, so I typed my question directly to her, asking her about the delivery. She answered live, saying, “Send me a DM, I can’t check shipping now.” Then, she abruptly left the live session. I did as she asked and sent the DM immediately. She never read or responded to it. • I am constantly seeing ads on Facebook and Instagram for DIAMANDIA products, and live sessions of trying to sell these products, but why if orders from May can’t even be filled and customers are completely ignored? • I would like my $127.20 back immediately, and I believe the product should no longer be promoted when orders are being taken, but products are not being sent.

Online Purchase - Online Purchase Scam

They advertised a new type of eye glasses. They were supposed to correct for any type of vision disorder. The ad showed several styles of frames but they only offer one style. Then when delivered….the glasses were nothing but your everyday reading glasses that you can buy at many stores for about $3.00. They actually made my vision much worse! So I tried to return them via the email and phone number provided. They never answer their phone! The return policy is to ship them back to China!! Then after they receive them supposedly they will refund. But shipping costs back to China exceed the $50.00 original cost! FALSE ADVERTISING. FAKE PRODUCT. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER COMMUNICATION. CHEAP PRODUCT. EXTREME OVERCHARGING FOR IT.

Online Purchase - Fit with Flair LLC

I hired Jaime Slutzky (doing business as “Jaime Slutzky dot com”) to build a membership website for my business, paying $2,000 upfront as part of a $4,000 contract. She promised delivery of a rough build within 5 days, and a full functional platform within 6–8 weeks. She failed to deliver any functioning product, despite repeated assurances. She missed every deadline without explanation or communication, failed to set up any of the promised automations, functional pages, did not upload or embed any video content, and produced nothing usable. She never implemented a project management system, forcing me to do that myself. What little she did create was placeholder pages that linked to nowhere, had no video player or content uploaded. She never even built a site map. Most disturbingly, she attempted to change admin login credentials on my WordPress site without permission — a major breach of trust and professionalism. After months of chasing her and receiving vague excuses, I disputed the charge with my credit card. Unfortunately I don't believe the dispute process actually has a real person looking over the evidence. I was never asked for the evidence I have which is all email communications, all screenshots, and even video of her saying what she would and wouldn't do. I’ve now submitted my documentation to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and am preparing a legal case if she does not issue a refund. This is a textbook scam: promises made, money taken, and nothing delivered. I’m reporting her here so others don’t fall into the same trap.

Employment - Employment - Dynamic Solutions

I applied to a job posting for a Junior Marketing Coordinator under the name Vision Marketing. It appeared legitimate and was aligned with my field of interest. However, shortly after applying, I was contacted on the weekend by someone from a completely different company — Dynamic Solutions GTA — asking to schedule an in-person interview as soon as possible, without providing any meaningful details about the position. I never applied to Dynamic Solutions GTA directly, and there was no explanation about the switch from Vision Marketing. When I began researching, I discovered this is a common tactic used by this company. They appear to operate under multiple different names, including Universal Investments and Consulting and Synergy Acquisitions, and now apparently Vision Marketing. Numerous people online have reported the same experience: applying to one role, then being contacted by a different company, invited to a vague interview, and ultimately pitched a commission-only, door-to-door sales job disguised as something more professional. This is deceptive. In my case, the office itself was in a sketchy location, with no clear signage. The website looks unprofessional, vague, and hastily put together — contradicting its claim of being an established company since 2010. While I applied for a marketing coordinator role, the only position mentioned on their site is for a Brand Ambassador, which only adds to the confusion. This is clearly a bait-and-switch job scam targeting job seekers through misleading titles, vague company identities, and fake job ads. It wastes people’s time, preys on their need for employment, and undermines trust in legitimate job postings. If you are contacted by this organization, please consider this experience and conduct your own due diligence before proceeding.

PayPal facilitates fraudulent enterprises engaged in scamming United States consumers. Upon inadvertently initiating a transaction—mistakenly believing that I would be permitted to review the order details and shipping timeframe—login to my PayPal account did not grant access to the transaction information; instead, the payment was immediately processed. The merchant's website indicates operations based in Miami, Florida; however, after the payment was completed, it was revealed that the merchant is based in China. The merchant's website states that cancellations can be made within 120 minutes of purchase. I attempted to cancel the transaction for approximately 90 minutes via their internal chat support, as PayPal refused to cancel, asserting that cancellation requests must be directed to the merchant. At 7:01 PM, within the two-hour window, I sent an email to the merchant requesting cancellation, but received no response. Several hours later, I was notified via email that the order had been shipped. This scenario exemplifies how PayPal enables fraudulent or illegitimate businesses to scam customers. I have experienced similar incidents multiple times. Despite providing evidence in dispute proceedings, PayPal consistently fails to enforce merchant compliance with their stated policies and seldom responds in favor of the customer.
